This development came in a stunning and immediate action today in an announcement on Truth Social by Donald Trump who wrote that the United States has hit three nuclear sites in Iran directly and they include Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The mission has been accomplished, the planes have left the Iranian airspace and the attack is considered very successful, the U.S. president said.
The tweet was sent a few minutes ago and its effects are already being felt around the newsrooms of the world, diplomatic services and military offices.
The Truth Social post by Trump: Trump Nuclear Sites are now locked
Look what he has posted:
We have finished our highly successful assault on the three Nuclear centers in Iran including Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
All aircrafts are now beyond the Iran air space. Massive launch of BOMBS was sent to the main facility, Fordow. All the aircraft are safely on route home. Our great American Warriors congratulations.
This is not some ambiguous and hypothetical rhetoric, this is presented in the form of an accomplished military attack. Trump distinctly listed out three locations, which comprised of Fordow, which has long been thought to be home to underground fortified enrichment installations, and pointed out that the American aircraft safely landed back home.
Behind the Headlines B-2 Stealth Bombers and the Stragicial Gamble
This scale of operation, lurks unmentioned in his note, but was reported (elsewhere). Reports by the military authorities indicate that B-2 stealth bombers which are equipped with huge bunker-buster bombs have been taken to Guam, which lets them be within striking distance of Iranian bunkers.
These are not ordinary fighter aircrafts. They are equipped with 30,000-pound bombs capable of going deep into the underground structure those were speculated to be needed to highly buried such a site as Fordow. According to analysts, a limited number of militaries have the capability of such an operation.
Why It Is Different: U.S. And Iran Escalation At The New Level
We should take a pause and emphasize why this is important, at least to adult readers, who have observed several decades of diplomatic and military tensions:
This is direct action American style.
Although Israel has been conducting limited attacks against the nuclear structure since June 13, this seems to be the first direct American attack, a significant step towards a direct military operation after trying other means of resolution.
The wager is now bigger.
Iran has already promised reprisal. The news was last that they sent showers of missiles and drones in retaliation of Israeli response, not all of them intercepted, the danger is far too real.
Now a weak territory exists on the edge of a razor.
Any false move will attract other countries. These have the potential of impacting the price of oil, world markets, and even the American families who are miles away tuning in.
Insides of The Situation Room
Trump did not get to this conclusion easily and in a vacuum. Reporting in the U.K. and U.S. has it that he consulted with his National Security Council on Saturday night, and considered his options before backing military action.
He presented it as an unwanted but unavoidable intervention: talks about deals had not succeeded and threats had persisted, and somewhere along the line it became the time to make peace, with the use of force, as a final resort.
What has already taken place in the Region
In order to comprehend the current act in the U.S., it is beneficial to get a flashback in two weeks:
June 13; Israel bombarded mass airstrikes into Iran and targeted military and nuclear plants. This entailed the striking on major facilities as well as even the satellite-confirmed destruction of centrifuge hallsIran did the same back- firing hundreds of missiles and drones, causing Israeli air defences to scramble warning orders.
A chain of the attack and response displaced the civilians, interrupted communications, and generated enormous tensions.
Reactions: Friends and Enemies and the Burden of Language
In Washington:
Positive figures in Trump camp were hailing the move as overdue.Captain Alfred A. Fickett and others now wrote of the duty of decisive leadership, but in Congress there was a divided reaction–some said this was the virtue of decisive leadership, others said this was the vice of open-ended conflict.
In Tehran:
Supreme Leader Khamenei and other Iranian leaders condemned the attacks, and the participation of the U.S. was a red line; they threaten an all-out war in the region in case of any reprisals
At Tel Aviv:
Israeli leaders worked in harmony with the U.S as they termed the initiative as jointly planned. They even still reserve their right to pre‑empt what they determine to be a developing nuclear menace.Globally:
The United Nations appealed to calm and requested to resort to diplomatic channels.Some European leaders reproached with the further military aggravation.
New powers have threatened to cause unrest of global peace in case of an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities.
What Is Next?
And this is what the future holds on the horizon to families struggling with the news:
An Iranian revenge attempt
Health the possibility of counter‑strikes covert or overt against U.S. forces deployed in other states or the allies in the region.
International pressure builds up Diplomatic pressure builds
International organizations can create an immediate stop the war, a peace summit in the hope of avoiding full-scale warfare.
Ripple effects of economy
Price increased oil market, interrupted trade patterns, and rising in shipping insurance rates may be felt in U.S. pockets.
Risk of LONG ‑TERM conflict
This might culminate in a long battle of the U.S against Iran that will attract other global players.An End-Partner
It is a frightening event to those Americans aged 60 or more. We have experienced the broad scopes of wars and we are aware that the consequences of surprise attacks can bear some unforeseen expenses.
Trump U.S. strike Iran (hit Trump nuclear installations) is not an encore of tensions of earlier times: it is a line north of which there remain few effects, as staid as it may be to say so: lives, families, and livelihoods will be affected.
Then again, again in this tense environment, keep in mind: the story is not over. Unrestricted observers and international news have not been able to confirm any damage and death independently. Many things are hidden behind the lines of official rhetoric and smoke of an attack rush.
Now is the time to embrace one another, base the discussion on facts-and rely on trusted sources as they tell us what is going on. Clarity is important and in such times, it becomes more important than ever.
